Legendary cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni is an institution in himself. Dhoni, who was introduced in the 2004 ODI tournament against Bangladesh, completed 18 years of his international debut in December last year. Dhoni announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket in 2020 and currently leads Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.
MS Dhoni recently lifted the 2023 IPL trophy along with his team after the CSK VS GT finale. We had started missing seeing him on screen after IPL but a good samaritan posted some of the best Dhoni moments on Twitter, and it honestly made our day.
The thread posted by a Twitter user, @thegoat_msd, features 10 videos of MS Dhoni picked from various instances including his on-field and off-field moments. “10 MS Dhoni moments to make your day,” the tweet reads.
Let’s take a look at the thread:
